Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for assigning a user equipment transmitter local oscillator frequency including informing the network of a capability of the user equipment to adjust a frequency location of a transmit local oscillator of the user equipment, to a frequency location which has been identified by the network, within a predefined channel frequency spectrum. The frequency location identification to be used to adjust the frequency location of the transmit local oscillator is received from the network. The frequency location of the local oscillator is then adjusted in accordance with the frequency location identification received.
Claims20
A method in a user equipment comprising:
- informing the network of a capability of the user equipment to adjust a frequency location of a transmit local oscillator of the user equipment, to a frequency location which has been identified by the network, within a predefined channel frequency spectrum;
- receiving from the network the frequency location identification to be used to adjust the frequency location of the transmit local oscillator;
- and
- adjusting the frequency location of the local oscillator in accordance with the frequency location identification received.
A user equipment in a communication network, the user equipment comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a controller that informs the network of a capability of the user equipment to adjust a frequency location of a transmit local oscillator of the user equipment, to a frequency location which has been identified by the communication network, within a predefined channel frequency spectrum;
- wherein the frequency location identification to be used to adjust the frequency location of the transmit local oscillator is received by the user equipment via the transceiver from the network;
- and
- wherein the frequency location of the local oscillator is adjusted by the controller in accordance with the frequency location identification received.
